Hi all, Dry sinuses are part of Sjogrens I believe. I dont have a cold or anything but I wake up with a pain behind my eyes, my airways are clear. If I go to the doctors he will say sinusitis and give me antibiotics - which work I must say. Is there any other way to sort my problem out?

Kandypat - I've only just this minute spotted that you're in Ireland. I hope they'll deliver there from the UK. However, as an afterthought I went on their French home site (the one just ending in .com) and entered Dublin in the box on the "où nous trouver" (where to find us) page - and it turned up dozens of locations.
Good luck!

I live in Ireland and Im not aware of any groups here, but in fairness I havent looked. I will join the FB group thanks for good suggestion.
I think I have had Sjogrens for about 30 years, but when the PBC started I put it all down to old age. I was diagnosed 8 months ago. I dont know if Im any better off knowing whats wrong to be honest. Nothing has changed except Im on Urso and I didnt have sore arms and hands before taking it, and now I have no feelings in my toes, and my sense of taste is going. Getting to see a specialist takes for ever. But all in all Im fine, and will soldier on.. Im 72 and I dont have any demands on me so Im very
fortunate.

Fortunately, most of my Sjogren's symptoms went into spontaneous remission 10 years ago, when I was in my early 60s. However, just to compensate, I've been in the grip of an RA flare-up for six months now - knees, hips, right elbow and now (for the first time ever) I'm in real trouble with my left thumb joint. This is a nuisance, as it means I can't grip anything to unscrew bottle tops etc. and I live alone. Still, the other night I decided to try the nutcrackers and found that worked very well! I've just put in a telephone order for my standard homeopathic remedies, which usually work in about six months.

coming off gluten/wheat? I heard that all autoimmune people are on the way to being gluten intolerant, I had a test that was negative but I can say that going off wheat/gluten and dairy, cleared up lots of things. Plus it made me feel I was 'doing' something for myself. I try to have an anti inflammatory diet - What homeopathic remedies work best for you?

This flare-up is partly my own fault. A couple of months ago I cooked and ate two large bunches of rhubarb in one month. I know perfectly well that rhubarb sends my uric acid levels sky high but I just gave in to a craving!
At around the same time I had a potentially nasty accident - a minor dizzy spell caused me to fall near the bottom of a down escalator. Scared the living daylights out of me - sitting on the escalator, being carried onto those metal teeth at the bottom with 20-odd people coming down behind me, and unable to move. Fortunately, I had the presence of mind not to try and push myself up off my hand, or I'd have lost my fingers! Screamed blue murder for someone to stop the escalator but nobody knew how. In the event two very young lads - only about 15 I think - grabbed me and hauled me unceremoniously off. I'm eternally grateful to them. I was badly shaken but fine immediately afterwards. The pains in all my joints and muscles started a week later. I think it's partly down to being pulled sharply (but thank goodness they did!) and partly the shock. However, I'm confident this will eventually clear up.
I expect to make a full recovery. Just a case of drawing in my horns a bit over the next few months while ensuring I get enough exercise to maintain flexibility. Ah, the joys of getting old...!
